Seeing this, Su Liu stretched out a finger and gently touched his lips, blocking his subsequent words.

"Don't feel guilty about me, I ran back by myself."

Then, she smiled very optimistically and added:
"This mountain is so big that they can search it for several days. We can still circle around a little longer and maybe we can escape."

Shen Luochen looked at her in confusion, but when he met her firm gaze, something in his heart seemed to drop.

So, he also nodded:
"Okay, we must go out."

Su Liu pulled off a piece of cloth from her skirt and simply bandaged the wound on Shen Luochen's body.

There was no way to clean the wound now, so she could only stop the bleeding first. After daylight, she would go to the mountains to find useful herbs.

The two agreed to go out to survey the terrain the next day and see if they could find a new way down the mountain.

In the middle of the night, Shen Luochen suddenly developed a high fever.

Probably because he was injured and the cave was relatively cold at night, his whole body was burning hot and his consciousness became a little unclear.

Su Liu was a little at a loss for a moment, so she could only lay him down flat and rest his head on his lap, feeling extremely anxious.

She didn't dare light a fire in the cave for fear of being discovered by the pursuers.

But Shen Luochen is in urgent need of insulation now. The cave will get colder late at night, and something will definitely happen if this continues.

In the end, she could only grit her teeth and reach out her hands to hold him in her arms.

Anyway, he is unconscious now, so he probably won't remember. It's important to save his life.

Su Liu was much thinner than Shen Luochen. Even if she tried to open her arms wide, she could only hold half of his body at most. She could feel his hot body temperature, as if he was about to burn.

His breathing was rapid, his chest heaved greatly, a few strands of wet hair stuck to his forehead, and his face was very pale.

While Su Liu kept wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, he couldn't help but anxiously muttered to himself:

"Shen Luochen, you have to be strong. There are still three babies waiting for you as a father."

Shen Luochen seemed to have heard what she said and tried to open his eyes to respond, but he was too weak to say anything.

In a daze, he saw that Su Liu's eyes seemed to be shining with tears, so he reached out his hand to wipe them away.

Unfortunately, he was a little confused from the fever, and Su Liu only saw one of his hands scratching in the air.

"Okay, okay, stop moving." She grabbed his hand and pressed it.

That night she felt like she was holding a stove, but luckily she survived till dawn without any danger.

Shen Luochen's fever hasn't gone away yet, so he definitely can't go out to survey the terrain.

Su Liu left him alone in the cave, covered him with his coat, and then left the cave.

She found some useful herbs on the mountain, used some larger leaves as containers, and went to the stream to collect some water.

Back in the cave, she began to help Shen Luochen take care of his injuries.

After a night, the wounds on Shen Luochen's body were already somewhat inflamed, and they looked red and scary.

Su Liu washed it with water, then crushed the picked herbs on a stone and applied it to the wound.

These herbs can simply reduce inflammation, but if she really wants to cure it, she needs more herbs.

Shen Luochen's fever also subsided a little, and he regained consciousness at this time.

Seeing Su Liu busy around him, he felt a little guilty, scratched his nose awkwardly, and said, "Thank you."

Seeing that he woke up, Su Liu was stunned for a moment, and then smiled knowingly.

"You don't have to thank me. It's up to you to do your best. Most people would be dead if they were burned like this."

Looking at the bright smiling face of the person in front of him, Shen Luochen was a little distracted for a moment, recalling all the previous events.

When did your opinion of her start to change? Maybe it was when the wise prince appeared, maybe it was earlier.

But when he reacted, he realized that his feelings were no longer as pure as before.

Seeing that he didn't speak and just looked at herself in a daze, Su Liu found it even more funny and stretched out her hand to wave it in front of his eyes.

"Hey, it's time for you to tell me 'who you are' now, right?"

After all, the two of them are now grasshoppers tied to the same rope. She may also be hunted down together, so she must know who the enemy is.

Shen Luochen came back to his senses, and upon hearing her words, his expression instantly became a little complicated.

He was silent for a while, as if he had finally made up his mind, he sighed softly and said:
"Okay, then I will tell you about my life experience."

When Su Liu heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up. She finally got the answer she had been curious about for a long time. She hurriedly sat down next to him and motioned for him to speak quickly.

"I was born in the Ding'an Marquis Mansion, and I am the eldest legitimate son of the Marquis Mansion. My family has been loyal ministers for generations, and they are all loyal..."

Su Liu was not surprised by his identity.

She had already guessed that he was either a prince or a noble, or a powerful minister, otherwise he would not be so clear about the affairs in the court.

However, his next words still surprised her:

"Ten years ago, the Dog Emperor mistakenly believed the words of a traitor and was afraid of my father's achievements, so he ordered my entire family to be beheaded."

When he said this, his expression suddenly became tense, and Su Liu could even feel the deep hatred in his tone.

"In the end, my father's early friends desperately rescued me, and I was able to survive. I fled to Xinghua Village and hid my identity. Over the years, I have been secretly investigating the person who framed me."

"So, the one who is chasing us now is the traitor you mentioned?" Su Liu asked.

Shen Luochen nodded along with her words and said:
"They already know that I'm still alive, and I'm afraid they will try their best to eradicate it in the future."

Su Liu was silent for a while, a little worried about the future situation. She was not very worried about herself, but felt that the children were suffering.

However, Shen Luochen suddenly punched the ground with his fist and said angrily:
"I want them to never come back, and no one can hurt my family."

Seeing that he seemed to be in much better spirits than last night, Su Liu felt a little relieved and patted him on the back encouragingly.

"I believe you!"

When he saw her, Shen Luochen's expression became gentle again, like ice melting in spring, and some tenderness could be seen on that cold and resolute face.

That was an expression he had never shown before. He always had a straight face.

This made Su Liu very uncomfortable and couldn't figure out what was going on with him.

What Shen Luochen said next made her jaw drop again.

"So, after I get my revenge, are you still willing to stay with me?"
